Hong Kong Corn and Ginger Soup with Crab Meat

Before the COVID era, I often reminisce about the freedom of a nearly perfect life. I used to travel abroad for work and leisure about once a month, with Hong Kong being my most frequent destination. My favorite soup there, which I regularly enjoyed in the Wan Chai area, was corn and crab meat soup. I've remembered the taste and refined the recipe. It's ready for you to try. There, they would loudly say, 'Ho sek.. ah,' which means 'extremely delicious.'
